Yesaya 26:1-21
26 M’tsiku limenelo,+ m’dziko la Yuda+ mudzaimbidwa nyimbo+ yakuti: “Ife tili ndi mzinda wolimba.+ Iye waika chipulumutso ngati mipanda ndiponso ngati chiunda chomenyerapo nkhondo.*+
2 Anthu inu, tsegulani zipata+ kuti mtundu wolungama, umene ukuchita zinthu mokhulupirika ulowe.+
3 Anthu amene ali ndi mtima wosagwedezeka mudzawateteza powapatsa mtendere wosatha,+ chifukwa amadalira inu.+
4 Anthu inu muzidalira Yehova+ nthawi zonse, pakuti Ya* Yehova ndiye Thanthwe+ mpaka kalekale.
5 “Pakuti iye watsitsa anthu okhala pamalo okwezeka,+ okhala m’mudzi wokwezeka.+ Mudziwo wautsitsa. Wautsitsira pansi, waugwetsa mpaka pafumbi.+
6 Phazi lidzaupondaponda. Mapazi a munthu wosautsika ndi mapazi a anthu onyozeka, adzaupondaponda.”+
7 Njira ya munthu wolungama ndi yowongoka.+ Popeza inu ndinu wochita zowongoka, mudzasalaza njira ya munthu wolungama.+
8 Inu Yehova, ife tayembekezera inu pofunafuna njira yanu ya chilungamo.+ Mtima wathu wakhala ukulakalaka kuti ukumbukire dzina lanu, ndi zimene dzinalo limaimira.+
9 Usiku, mtima wanga umakulakalakani.+ Ndithu ndimakufunafunani ndi mtima wonse,+ chifukwa mukadzaweruza dziko lapansi,+ anthu okhala panthaka ya dzikolo adzaphunzira chilungamo.+
10 Ngakhale munthu woipa atachitiridwa zabwino, sangaphunzire chilungamo.+ M’dziko lochita zowongoka, iye adzachita zinthu zopanda chilungamo+ ndipo sadzaona ukulu wa Yehova.+
11 Inu Yehova, dzanja lanu lakwezeka,+ koma iwo sakuliona.+ Iwo adzaona mmene mukudziperekera kwa anthu anu, ndipo adzachita manyazi.+ Ndithu, moto+ wanu udzanyeketsa adani anu.
12 Inu Yehova, mudzachita chilungamo kuti mutipatse mtendere,+ pakuti ntchito zathu zonse tazikwanitsa chifukwa cha inu.+
13 Inu Yehova Mulungu wathu, ife takhalapo m’manja mwa ambuye ena kupatula inu.+ Koma chifukwa cha thandizo lanu, timatha kutchula dzina lanu.+
14 Iwo afa. Sadzakhalanso ndi moyo.+ Iwo ndi akufa+ ndipo sadzaukanso.+ Pa chifukwa chimenechi, mwawatembenukira kuti muwawononge n’cholinga choti asadzatchulidwenso.+
15 Mwakulitsa mtundu, inu Yehova. Mwakulitsa mtundu+ ndipo mwadzilemekeza.+ Mwafutukulira kutali malire onse a dzikolo.+
16 Inu Yehova, pa nthawi ya masautso iwo atembenukira kwa inu.+ Mutawalanga, akhuthulira mitima yawo kwa inu m’pemphero lonong’ona.+
17 Chifukwa cha inu Yehova, ife takhala ngati mkazi wapakati amene watsala pang’ono kubereka, amene akumva zowawa za pobereka, amene akulira ndi ululu wa pobereka.+
18 Ife tinali ndi pakati, tinamva zowawa za pobereka,+ koma takhala ngati tabereka mphepo. Palibe chipulumutso chenicheni chimene tapeza m’dzikoli,+ ndipo sitikuberekanso anthu ena oti akhale panthaka ya dziko lapansili.+
19 “Anthu anu amene anafa adzakhalanso ndi moyo.+ Anthu anga amene anafa adzadzuka ndi kuimirira.+ Inu anthu okhala m’fumbi, dzukani, fuulani mokondwera!+ Pakuti mame anu+ ali ngati mame a maluwa,+ ndipo dziko lapansi lidzabereka anthu amene anafa.+
20 “Inu anthu anga, pitani mukalowe m’zipinda zanu zamkati ndipo mukatseke zitseko.+ Mukabisale kwa kanthawi mpaka mkwiyo utadutsa.+
21 Pakuti taonani! Yehova akubwera kuchokera kumene amakhala kuti adzaimbe mlandu anthu okhala m’dzikoli.+ Magazi amene dzikoli linakhetsa lidzawaonetsa poyera,+ ndipo silidzabisanso anthu amene linapha.”+
